Local $bSuccess = False

; This is the JavaScript function we'll call:

; function getSettings() {

; Call Eval to add the function to the context's global object
$bSuccess = $oJs.Eval($oSbScript,$oResult)
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ; Examine the result for an exception.
    ConsoleWrite($oResult.Emit() & @CRLF)

    ; Also examine the LastErrorText.

; Call the function getSettings()

; Create JSON specifying the function name and arguments
; The function has no arguments, so we only specify the name.

; {

$oFuncCall.UpdateString("name","getSettings")
